Who can obtain microdata
In Slovenia, the entities entitled to obtain the statistically protected microdata include: Registered research institutions Registered researchers Researchers of government offices

Statistically protected microdata
The statistically protected microdata: Modified in a way which prevents the
identification of the unit to which they refer Containing the variables on the basis of which it
is possible to carry out statistical analysis in the same way as this can be done with individual data
![Page 4: Administrative procedures for microdata access at SURS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b4550346895ddf886f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Intended use (1)
The purposes for which the statistically protected microdata can be obtained are: Statistical-analytical purposes Scientific research purposes, where the analysis
involves a public benefit or something positive for the people of Slovenia
![Page 5: Administrative procedures for microdata access at SURS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b4550346895ddf886f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Intended use (2)
Statistically protected microdata cannot be obtained for non-statistical purposes: Administrative purposes (where dissemination of
microdata would have a direct administrative consequence for a citizen or a company)
Tax purposes Judicial or business purposes

How to obtain microdata
The users are requested to fill in the Form for obtaining statistically protected microdata for scientific research purpose with information on: The statistical analysis/research paper The researcher carrying out the statistical
analysis

Procedure at SURS The requests for microdata are submitted to the
Data Protection Committee (the advisory body of the Director-General)
The Data Protection Committee produces the proposal of the decision for the Director-General Board
Weekly sessions

Contract, declaration Research institutions and independent researchers sign
the contract for access to the microdata Researchers sign the declaration on data protection as
well Templates available at:
http://www.stat.si/eng/drz_stat_mikro.asp The contract validation is usually 2 years or for the time
of the duration of the project The possibility to prolong the contract
![Page 9: Administrative procedures for microdata access at SURS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b4550346895ddf886f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Access to microdata The statistically protected microdata are
available for researchers: in a "secure room" at SURS by the "remote access" DVD (only few sample surveys)
![Page 10: Administrative procedures for microdata access at SURS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b4550346895ddf886f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
"Secure room" (1) The computers have no link with the external
environment, no external unit (diskette, DVD, USB, etc.) and no possibility of printing
Entries to the secure room are allowed only to the entitled individuals
Researchers receive the identification card to register the presence at SURS
![Page 11: Administrative procedures for microdata access at SURS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b4550346895ddf886f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
"Secure room" (2) 3 computers owned by SURS Researchers should announce their arrival to the
»secure room« by e-mail 4 computers owned by research
institutions/researchers (no need for announcement)
Researchers should not bring into the »secure room« any e-devices which would facilitate the extraction or export of data
![Page 12: Administrative procedures for microdata access at SURS](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062815/568168b4550346895ddf886f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
"Remote access" The data are stored on a special SURS server,
separated from the production servers Researchers access the data on a server via
Internet connection to the HKOM network The provider of the HKOM network is the
Administrative Processes Directorate within the Ministry of the Interior
There is no possibility of printing and saving the files

Output checking The output is checked according to the data
confidentiality rules Researchers receive the output by e-mail

Microdata users 45 contracts for the secure room, remote access
at the moment 70 researchers (39 in the secure room, 13 by
the remote access, 18 for both accesses) Most researchers are from faculties and
research institutions Researchers are not active all the time

Archiving The microdata and files created in the “secure
room“ or by “remote access“ are archived after the end of the project
Researchers can reactivate the access if needed later
